Along with hikinedd and lefty a group of us hit the snow at 4 am. The route from Muriel Lake over Alpine Col required crampons and ice axes due to hard snow and the steepness of the route. We decided against climbing the NE ridge route to the summit from the Col and instead we descend the south side of the Col and ascended the class 2 SE slope. We summited at 10 am.

Beautiful snow climb with Samantha. We started from Muriel Lake, cramponed up to the Keyhole, climbed up SE ridge of Muriel Peak, traversed to Alpine Col to start the NE Ridge of Goethe. We made it to the ~13180' sub-peak about 1/3 mile east of the summit, then retraced the ridge back to Alpine Col, glissaded down to Goethe Lake and followed its west side back to Muriel Lake. We were able to avoid most of the talus in the Alpine Col/Goethe Lake area by traversing snowfields.
